Repair and mend. Healthy aspects of a normal life.

Forgiveness

October 27, 2021

Forgiving.
πŸ™πŸ½
I’ve always said that weaving is forgiving.
πŸ™πŸ½
Small errors
Misjudgments
Plain old mistakes
Short cuts gone array
.
All these might cause problems with your weaving.
.
And so
There is a course correction. .
.
A repair
A fix
.
Then back on track.
.
Weaving is flexible
Fixable
Forgiving
.
The challenge
Is to forgive
Myself.
.
After decades of weaving
There are still mistakes
Misjudgments
.
Thank you threads for your showing me the way
.
To mend
To forgive
To move forward
.
Not get stuck
In old mistakes
.
Forgive me.
I’m still learning.

I feel a primal urge to swaddle, to bind and wrap.

Soft can encompass hard. 

Chariclo the Greek goddess, wife of Chiron (whose name means graceful spinner) models, the ability to hold and create sacred space. 

Even though her energy is soft and feminine, she is powerful and sets firm boundaries.

There is so much I still don’t know about how the Universe works.

How the sun and moon rise and set.

How the ocean can conceal and absorb so much life.

How one tiny human has a huge capacity for love and sorrow.
